    After Tu Wanxu withdrew his troops from Jinling and crossed the river, Jiangdong's army, which had been dormant in Wu County, finally waited for the opportunity. Ou Yan quickly ordered his generals to attack in all directions to seize the territory left by Tu Wanxu.  Huang Mingxiang also used his authority to represent officials in various places one by one to fill the vacancies of local officials.

    At this time, many places in Jiangnan were power vacuums, which was convenient for Huang Mingxiang to expand his power.

    After Tu Wanxu's main force left Jinling City, Li Hui and Qu Wei led their troops from Wuxi County in the south to the north and took over Jinling City.  Li Hui was the magistrate of Piling County. In the name of the prefect Liu Lie, and escorted by elite soldiers, he entered the city smoothly and openly.  The local armed forces organized spontaneously after the Sui army left did not dare to resist at all, so they had to bite the bullet and welcome Qu Wei's troops into the city.

    After Li Hui and Qu Wei entered the city, they hosted a banquet for the leaders of various armed forces.  These leaders include local bandits, aristocratic families, remnants of the Sui army, etc.

    Everyone didn¡¯t know Li Hui¡¯s intention, so they had no choice but to go to the banquet.

    After everyone entered the house, Li Hui and Qu Wei had already prepared an ambush to capture everyone.  For these people, Li Hui either killed or incorporated them one after another based on their daily behavior.  The various armed forces in Piling County were leaderless, and those who were not allowed to take orders from the Sui army were quickly destroyed by the Sui army.

    Soon after, Liu Lie, the governor of Piling County who had been bedridden, died of a serious illness. Therefore, the military power of Piling County was completely controlled by Li Hui and Qu Wei.

    At the same time, Ou Yan ordered Wenren Sui'an, who was originally stationed in Changshu, to lead his troops north to occupy Jiangyin County (today's Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province).  He also ordered General Chen Jingzong to go north from the direction of Jinling to occupy the important places of Qu'a and Jurong, and defeated the counterattack of Zhu Xie's brother Zhu Lang's troops in Jurong.

    Zhu Lang, as the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army of the bandits, was ordered to attack Danyang County.  However, his progress was not smooth and he was defeated by Yuan Ren many times.  However, Zhu Lang relied on his large number of troops to suppress Yuan Ren, stationed troops in Jiangshan, and surrounded Jiangning City (today's Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province) to the west.

    When the Vietnamese army was defeated, Zhu Lang was in the Danyang Army and had not been able to catch up with previous battles.  Later, when Zhu Lang saw the Sui army on the north side, he wanted to take the opportunity to go east and seize the territory.

    Zhu Lang, who led his army back eastward, met Chen Jingzong who was heading north in Jurong County.  The two sides fought fiercely outside Jurong City. Zhulang was defeated and fled westward in embarrassment.  Zhu Lang, who had lost his troops and generals, ignored Jiangning City and fled directly towards Xuancheng County.

    Ou Yan himself took the opportunity to lead his army from Dongqian County to the north, and successively recovered Wucheng, Changcheng, Yixing and other places.

    After Liu Yuanjin defeated Jishan, he fled south in embarrassment, heading straight to Qiantang City, abandoning all the cities along the way.  The local defenders fled in all directions, and these places were easily recovered by Ouyan.

    At this point, the entire Wu region, except Yanling in the north, has been completely controlled by Ou Yan.

    When Tu Wanxu was heading north, in order to have a base for advancing in the future, he left three thousand troops in Yanling City to guard it.  For the entire Jiangnan, Yanling City controls the road to the north, which is extremely important, and Ouyan is bound to control it.  However, although Ou Yan took advantage of the situation and rose up, he could not directly attack the Yanling defenders who were also officers and soldiers, so he kept Yanling City as a distraction.

    Fortunately, Ou Yan became the new commander-in-chief of the army at this time and was able to control the Yanling defenders. Ou Yan personally led his troops north to take over Yanling City.

    Lu Qiji, the guard of Yanling City, was the son of Lu Qubing, an official in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He had nothing to do with Tu Wanxu, so he was placed in Yanling, a place where he was a semi-abandoned son.

    After all, if the bandits counterattack, Yanling City will be the first to bear the brunt.

    Lu Qiji originally thought that Tu Wanxu could return to Jiangnan as soon as possible, so that he would not have to worry day and night with these three thousand troops.  However, Lu Qiji did not expect what happened next. The boss, Tu Wanxu, was imprisoned for questioning, the counter-rebellion army continued to fight within itself, and the Yanling defenders became motherless children for a while, and no one cared about it.

    Ou Yan led his troops to Yanling City, and Lu Qiji immediately and respectfully welcomed Ou Yan in.  He knew that he was not a close confidant of Tu Wanxu, so there was no need to be loyal to Tu Wanxu, so as soon as Ou Yan recruited him, he chose to defect to Ou Yan.

    Ou Yan recruited Lu Qiji's troops, and ordered General Zhu Hui to stay in Yanling City. He crossed the river and went to Jiangdu to receive Tu Wanxu's troops.

    The powerful soldiers under Tu Wanxu¡¯s command come from complex sources and are a mixed bag, so they are not easy to accept.  That is to say, Tu Wanxu is senior, prestigious, and capable, so that he can overwhelm everyone.

    "It's not enough. After Tu Wanxu and Yu Juluo were sent to the capital, the strong soldiers under their command began to fall apart due to various reasons without an effective commander to restrain them.

    By the time Ou Yan arrived in Jiangdu, all the troops were scattered, and there were countless deserters.

    At the time of Jiang, there were a total of 50,000 troops under his command.  Among them, 8,000 navy troops were attached to the Jiangdu garrison. After Tu Wanxu returned to Jiangdu, his troops were immediately reorganized.

    Including the Zuotun guards and the soldiers from various counties brought by Tu Wanxu, there are a total of 41,000 people. Counting those who died in Jiangnan and those who are now fleeing, there are only 27,000 people left.

    At this time, Tu Wanxu's headquarters in Jiangdu was divided into three parts.  Among them, the one with the most complete organization and the strongest combat effectiveness is Gongsun Shangzhe's command of more than 8,000 people, all of whom are the original Zuotun Guards and elite soldiers from Guanzhong.  But this force is very independent.

    The other two groups are the Huainan soldiers led by General Zhao Yuankai of Hu Yalang, numbering about 10,000, mostly from Huainan, Lujiang, Yiyang and other counties; the other is the Huaibei soldiers commanded by Zhao Kun, the Prime Minister of Xiapi County, with  About nine thousand people.

    Since Tu Wanxu resigned, the three of them have not convinced each other, and the three armies have been fighting independently, becoming a mess.

    Jiangdu County has Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, which can be regarded as half of Ou Yan's home field, so it is smooth to take over the military power.

    Ou Yan entered the camp, took out the emperor's decree, took over the entire army, and became the new commander-in-chief.  However, these three people did not pay much attention to Ou Yan, the new coach.

    ??Especially Gongsun Shangzhe, because he succeeded in joining the team, he thought he was a meritorious person, and he was very proud and proud.

    In fact, for Ou Yan, he really looked down on Tu Wanxu¡¯s old subordinates.  It's not that this army is not strong in combat effectiveness, but that this army is a mixed bag with forces from all sides, making it difficult to command.

    At this time, Ou Yan also had to admire Tu Wanxu for leading this army to win consecutive battles. He was really an extraordinary person.

    Ou Yan is more concerned about the 30,000 taels of the Huaihe New Army formed from the refugees from the two Huaihe Rivers. Unfortunately, these three armies are commanded by Wang Shichong, Zhu Kuan, and Yuan Yan respectively, and he cannot get involved.  Thinking of this, Ou Yan remembered that Wei Gong said that Wang Shichong was good at specializing, and it was true.  He was a civil servant who suddenly became a general commanding tens of thousands of troops. He even caught the eye of the emperor. He was really expert in his work.

    Unfortunately, there was no way to target the new army, so Ou Yan could only focus on Tu Wanxu's troops.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
